A command of e.g.

    git push --set-upstream /tmp/t master

will call install_branch_config() with a remote name of "/tmp/t". This
function will set the 'branch.master.remote' key to, which is
nonsensical as there is no remote by that name.

Is it nonsensical? It does not make sense for the @{upstream} magic
token, because we will not have a branch in tracking branch refs/remotes

Eh, I am incapable of typing (and proofreading). That should be "not
have a tracking branch in refs/remotes".
